Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces
Add the potato pieces to one side of a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until crisp
While the potatoes are cooking, add your chicken breast portion[s] to a chopping board and cover with a sheet of cling film
Bash the chicken breast portion[s] with a rolling pin until evenly flattened and pat dry with kitchen paper – these are your chicken escalopes
Grate your cheddar cheese into a bowl, add your panko breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper
Add a drizzle of vegetable oil and give everything a good mix up – this is your cheesy breadcrumb mix
Add the chicken escalopes to the the bowl of cheesy breadcrumb mix and press into the mix until nicely coated
Add the coated chicken to the other side of the baking tray with the potatoes
Tip: Cooking for 4? Use 2 trays!
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20 min further or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
While everything is in the oven, boil half a kettle
Peel and chop your red onion[s] roughly and chop your cherry tomatoes in half and top, tail and chop your courgette[s] into bite-sized pieces
Dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 50ml [75ml] [100ml] boiled water
While the chicken is cooking, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the chopped red onion, chopped courgette and tomato paste to the pan and cook for 2-3 min or until starting to soften
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 4-5 min further or until all the veg has fully softened
Add the vegetable stock and cook for 1-2 min further
Season generously with salt and pepper – this is your Mediterranean veg
Once done, tear your basil into the pan
